Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings

I've finished my current Musketeers WIP. It's an attempt at a baroque ghost story and actually one of my favourite pieces of my own writing. I did proper historical research, incorporated literary and philosophical concepts of the baroque period, threw a buttload of psychological horror at Aramis, and didn't write any gratuitous porn. So yay.

Author: Donna Immaculata
Rating: Mature for disturbing themes
Characters: Aramis, Athos, Porthos, d'Artagnan; with a supporting cast of war refugees, honnêtes gens, Jesuits and one undead soldier, slightly soiled
Word count: 25,187
Summary: In the wake of Marsac's burial, Aramis doesn't sleep.
Notes: Inspired by the idea I’ve seen pop up in several places that Marsac would come back as a zombie, as evidenced by Aramis leaving the sword stuck in his grave for him. Despite the silly-sounding premise, this is not a crack fic - quite the contrary, actually.

Well, at least it's not porn this time. It's angst and horror instead, which I inflict on Aramis because I love him.
